The expectations stated were mostly true. The write up states 9 maximum people and our group totaled 12. After the castle, we were told we had to take a bus, metro or taxi to the palace. This was not disclosed in the expectations. The taxi was 300 yen a person. Make sure you have the coins. Viator should include this transportation in their tour. The castle does provide tours by the staff free of charge. Another option.
Alex was so knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed his company and are very grateful for his expertise. Thank you Alex!
Fantastic morning. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful she explained how our day was planned and the history of Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. Eloise also helped us with food recommendations train and subway directions for other self exploration.
Eloise made our morning truly special with her sharp insights on Nijo Castle’s history and the Imperial Palace’s story. She even gave us solid food and transit tips—so helpful for exploring on our own. Thanks for letting us share this moment with you!
. I was extremely disappointed with our tour. I felt like we got a very basic information and we almost missed the Impereal Palace tour because we got there around 3:30 PM and it closed at 4 and the tour guy did not even know where the entrance was so we walked all the way around and got in at around 3:50 PM and kind of felt rushed with the speakers keep saying the place is closing. I would have learned more with just the basic free audio tour provided at the castle and cannot believe the tour guide did not even know where the entrance was for the palace. Tripguru was the company to contact with concerns and they were totally useless in helping.
Todd, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the tour guide didn’t know the palace entrance location — that’s a serious gap in preparation. We’re working to ensure all guides are fully briefed on entry points and timing for each site. Please reach out to reservations@thetripguru.com if you have more concerns.
We have a wonderful experience visiting the Imperial Palace of Kyoto and the Nijo Castle. Nobumsasa was an excellent tour guide, providing us with the history of each site while guiding us. He also made travel between the 2 sites quite easy.
Nobumsasa’s passion for Kyoto’s history truly brought the Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle to life—what a delight to hear. He made the journey between sites feel seamless, not just efficient. Thanks for letting us know how much you enjoyed the tour!
Short three hours, but really nice tour Recommended to everybody professional tour guy with the knowledge of Kyoto history on English
Thanks for the kind words, Nusret — your tour with Kenji was a real highlight. His deep knowledge of Kyoto’s history made the walk feel both rich and personal. We’re proud he brought such warmth and clarity to the experience.
Joseph was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable about the history and the places we went around, it was raining however, we were so immersed in the guide that we didn’t care! 15/10 for Joseph! He made our tour worthwhile
Joseph was a standout—his deep knowledge of Kyoto’s history brought the palace and Nijo Castle to life. Even in the rain, your immersion in the story made the tour unforgettable. Thanks for letting us know how much Joseph delivered!
Arrived just before 10. Caught the metro there and arrived in time for a free English guided tour at 10am. Are Japanese at venue restaurant which was great value and great food. Tour took about 1 hour.
Thanks for choosing our Kyoto Imperial Palace & Nijo Castle Guided Walking Tour — we’re so glad you caught the metro and arrived right on time. Loved that you enjoyed the English guide and the venue’s Japanese food — that’s exactly what we aim for. Keep sharing your thoughts, Carol — we’re always here to help!
